Update on Syria revolution -The other side of the coin ignored by the main stream news

#Syria|South Damascus|Regime and RU open negotiations with Daesh to leave

Negotiations are under way between Daesh in South Damascus on the one hand and Damascus and the Russian side under the auspices of the reconciliation delegation in the Assali neighborhood to discuss a safe exit from the region and avoid the anticipated military operation that the regime is preparing against Daesh.

According to private sources to Damascus voice, a delegation headed by “Ihab Salti,” head of the reconciliation committee in the neighborhood of Assali entered on Friday, April 13, met with Daesh and offered them to go to an area which has not yet been identified.

Damascus voice in Yarmouk camp said that the meeting which included the most prominent leaders of the organization, lasted more than four hours. This meeting took place few days after “Abu Khaled alAmni” left with others to Homs countryside, in direct coordination with the Regime intelligence, to meet with the leaders of Daesh stationed in that region and explore the possibilities to receive Daesh leaders.

The two parties have not yet reached a conclusion after last Friday’s round of negotiations, amid a deep silence by Daesh on the negotiation issue in front of its elements and the public residing in its areas of control.

One reason why Iran got involved in Syria, is because they identified with not wanting to see a dictator fall, as they’ve felt threatened by the Green Revolution. Their support for Bashar Assad was discrete at first, until Daesh presented itself. At first, the Iranian regime did not want to be associated with chemical weapons use which their population is familiar of from the past Iran-Iraq war.

Iran has given (loaned, which will likely be forgiven) a few billion to that regime, since at least 2013.

According to this paper, the strategy needs to be to contain Iran in Syria, without justifying their presence, and without pushing Iran closer to Russia. From the way I see it, Iran will justify its presence to kill innocent people no matter what, and Iran already will move closer to Russia anyway. IMO, Iran needs to be defeated by a sound strategy that doesn’t put Europeans and Americans on the front lines. Coalition members cannot treat vetted rebels like they are disposable. Iranian and Russian elite must be hit with targeted sanctions, many which the impacts were preemptively weakened by terrible decisions by world leaders.
